What does this mean for users and administrators? Will they find hive-default.xml.template in the usual place in each released branch?

The wiki discusses the template file in Configuring Hive, and I think we should have a version note explaining to developers that they won't find it in trunk anymore. (If we put the information in the developer docs, it's less likely to get noticed because there's no context for it.) Configuring Hive will be updated anyway for HIVE-6037 to say that HiveConf.java holds all the parameter descriptions starting with 0.14.0, and the template file will be generated from HiveConf.java.

Configuring Hive

Users/admin should not get affected, as hive-default.xml will still be generated during the release and be included in the tarball in the same location. So I dont believe we need to change the Configuring Hive docs (which I assume is a user-facing document) to mention about HiveConf.java?
